This is a recording of Sir Elton from his earliest days. These songs pre-date "Your Song". They are interesting interpretations of songs that were popular at the time they were recorded. It was not unusual for new artists to perform the hits of other performers. It was what their audiences often wanted and presented consumers with something recognizable from a new talent. Now that Elton has matured as a performer and composer, there is no 'need' for him to cover the songs of others. These covers for the most part are not faithful to the originals. Elton has sung these songs like the Reg Dwight of 1970 would have (and obviously did). For this purpose, the CD should be looked upon as a time-piece, not a new album that is somehow 30+ years old.

16 covers features rare early recordings of Elton John that were found and remastered after being lost for more than 25 years. Included are cover versions of such '60s hits as "Spirit In The Sky," "Signed Sealed Delivered" and "Travelin' Band." - cduniverse.com
